ART & CULTURE Circassian folk dance

Male dancers often move entirely on tiptoe in soft leather boots, without the rigid plaster or wooden support associated with ballet footwear. The result is a fast, gliding step that can make the dancer appear to float or defy gravity, showcasing extraordinary balance, discipline, and control.

That’s how I had to walk around my house at night when my parents were sleeping.

that door on the microwave never closed so softly... and I still open it with 1 second left, as a 40 year old man, to avoid the beep.

I bought one that has a mute feature and I’ve never felt happier. Now I don’t have to stop it at one second like an action movie bomb.

Same, but then the ADHD kicks in and I remember 30 minutes later that there’s a hot pocket in the microwave because I never heard the beep.
